Mary, Martha and Digital Cameras

A little while ago, I was invited to share about my trip with a ladies group in my church called Mary and Martha. I have never been so blessed in my entire life by the body of Christ. These faithful women prayed for me and encouraged me in ways that they couldn't know.

As if their encouragement wasn't enough, they took up an offering for me to buy a digital camera. Those godly women - about 15 - raised $186 for me! A few days later, I found a great camera for $179 and after taxes it came to about $190. Is our God good?

I'm proud to announce that I'm the owner of a Canon SD1300IS. And it takes beautiful pictures! The camera is a special blessing to me and will always be a reminder to pray for those godly women and to appreciate the gifts of God. But more than anything, their faithfulness in prayer for me is the greatest gift. I am so undeserving to have such a wonderful and powerful force behind me. Thank you ladies!

"So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith" (Gal. 6:10).
